Ugliness is not important

A long time ago, there were many beautiful trees in a very large forest. They were very attractive thanks to their beauty except one tree. It wasn’t charming like the other trees; it was an ugly one. Its branches weren’t fascinating. All the trees laughed at it.

The beautiful trees always made fun of the ugly one , so it felt sad after that mocking , but it had an advantage: it was so patient, it always responded to others’ speeches in a polite way, it wished it had been so pretty, too. It didn’t realize that this was a destiny, it always said:” I know I am ugly, I am not attractive, no one uses me, I can’t provide anything to people like other trees…”

One morning, the wisdom behind this tree’s ugliness appeared. A woodcutter came to the forest, he was amazed by the beauty of the trees in that forest, so he decided to cut all the trees down.

The woodcutter cut many trees down and he came near the ugly one, he found out that the tree was useless, he couldn’t benefit anything from it, and then he decided to move toward the other trees which were very pretty.
